PNev: I cried my eyes out when I left United

In an interview with The Guardian, Phil reflects on the day Sir Alex Ferguson invited him round to his house to tell him that it was time for him to move on.

Of course, the manager was right, with Phil thriving at Everton and becoming captain, but that didn’t change how disappointed he was to be leaving the club he loved.

“Inside – and this is the weird thing – it was probably one of the most magical moments of my career,” Neville says. “We were in his front room, having a cup of tea and he was plotting my next career move, where I was going, how I would play, everything. I went outside and my wife was in tears. But it wasn’t done in a cold office. It was done with warmth, like going round to your Mum and Dad’s for some advice.” He pauses. “But don’t get me wrong, I went home and cried my eyes out for 24 hours.”

I can take it from that attempt at English that youre not a Nicky Butt fan, Well United would NOT have beat Munich in 99 final without Nicky, He was outstanding as the only midfielder that played that night he kept everything together, the scorers Teddy and especially Ole get all the credit but it werent for Nicky, Munich would of been way out of sight. Phill spent 8 years at Everton of course hes going to show an iffinity with that club, show some respect to quality players!!!

If you could actually spell their names correctly would be a start, All avarage? hahahaha, bukam who is he? I guess you mean Beckham, world knew they were all avarage? Funny that Pele was not one of those when he named Nicky Butt as the best player in the group stages of the 2002 world cup! Nevilles won it all and had 86 caps for England but is avarage, Piss out, I suppose you mean piss off, always happy to help correct you on your English, Make sure you put the Cheque in the post!!

Thats the thing I like about RoM it has all sorts of people on it, Its got your regualars who can have decent convos with like myself and @Wayne, @John, @Samuel, @xyz and @king eric when he was posting hope to see him posting again soon. Then you have @zibbie who most of the time I dont understand him but means well all the same and then you have those couple of planks who attacked wayne and insulted his family and @United who never comment on here and when they do just insult people who have given their all for United fucking waste of space you are!!

@United, you can be right by calling them average but those players you mentioned are for me, effective and efficient. No great skills but what they was to be good at what they do, doing the little things perfectly. for Beckham, we were always a cross away from scoring, Butt like Tommy said, NevilleG, no worfs for him because we now see what he brings to the team be it defensive or attacking area.
@United u know say e go pain am na..lol

@United…Phil Neville cried coz he had to leave our (his beloved) club, Gary Neville celebrations were the reflections of how much he loves our club (like his own family), Becks never played for English club coz he couldn’t see himself in another shirt in premiere league. Nicky Butt as @Tommy explained gave his all…And that spirit is the “class” of 92…big mumu like you support Manchester United coz of class of 92!…Warning: don’t present yourself like this when @wayne (true old red from George Best era) is here commenting or else he will make you regret it.. @wayne was right to kick troll like you on head. I now know why..fuck off you big mumu!

Been here watching, reading and enjoying for quite a lot of years now, and this may only be my second post ever, but what a crazy mix of United fans we have posting. I mean its a joy to hear human minds of all caliber discuess random topics related to our belove Manchester United Football Club. Peace & Love
